"Error: spawn JlinkExe ENOENT"

[josejsarmento]

Working on a Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi OS lite 64, JLink V7.64e, npm 8.8.0
I have installed the NRFJprog terminal tools and JLinkExe for Linux Arm 64.

Using any of the instructions in the README, such as the following program.js:

var jlink = require("@connectedyard/node-jlink");      
jlink.reset(); // nrfjprog --reset

results in the following error:

> start
> node program.js

node:events:505
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

  errno: -2,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'spawn JlinkExe',

    'swd',
    '-speed',
    '4000',
    '-autoconnect',
    '1'
  ]
}

Typing JLinkExe directly on the terminal opens the program, so it's correctly installed. Is this because the module is trying to call JlinkExe with a lowercase "L" instead of uppercase? I think this is done in line 43 of ./lib/jlinkexe.js

Yup. I was testing this and seems like it wont work well. In the node_modules folder, you can edit jlinkexe.js

The code should be changed to this:

else if( process.platform.indexOf('linux') !== -1 ){ return "JLinkExe"; }
